Traditions: Holiday with Heart
Christmas traditions are something that I hold very near to my heart. I have been blessed with wonderful grandparents and a wonderful mother who have carried out these said traditions year after year; dating back further than I can remember. Things like cutting down our own Christmas tree and homemade jammies every Christmas Eve night. These are just some of the things that helped shape me as a person and the reason why I adore Christmas so much!Traditions are a key part of the holidays. They are our past, our present and our future. Not only for ourselves but for generations after us. Traditions don't have to come with an expensive price tag or something of high value. They can be simple, small and by all means... free. So today, I have chosen to bring you some traditions that I have shared with my family and some that I hope to share one day with my own children. Whatever it may be, create your own traditions small or large.
